Ryan Reynolds Develops Bald Patch While Filming ‘Buried’

Canadian-born actor Ryan Reynolds told reporters he developed a small bald patch on the back of his head while filming the new thriller “Buried.”

Reynolds, who is 33, says the bald spot resulted from constant rubbing and scraping against the inside of a coffin during the 17 days of filming. I bet the enormous stress he was under while filming also contributed to the temporary lossage. Fortunately for him, the lost hair has since grown back.

Less extreme situations can also lead to hair loss - tight hair braids and weaves, poor nutrition, hormonal changes, medications, and stress are all possible factors, in addition to genetics.
